Isaac looks a little manic (or, at least, happier than he should considering what he’s just seen), there are scribbles in Marker font covering every surface of the shuttle’s interior, and Isaac’s having a full conversation with his dead girlfriend. In the alternate ending, there’s no pretense of hunky-dory. Until he once again hallucinates his dead girlfriend and we get a jump scare just before the credits roll. In the standard ending of the game, Isaac escapes from Aegis VII secure in the knowledge that he destroyed the necromorphs and the (Red) Marker, and now everything is hunky-dory and there is no more space engineering to be done.

Let’s say you don’t want to play through the whole (terrifying) game again and just want to know what that whole alternate ending entails. Your job is to collect all of those Marker Fragments and arrange them on the table/altar in Captain Mathius’ room in the Executive Quarters on the Crew Deck during Chapter 11 “Alternate Solutions.”įrom there, you just have to play through to the end of the game (again).
